FACIAL
Usually when one is cleaning and moisturizing one's face, one should try the following steps:
1. Cleanse
2. Scrub
3. Steam
4.Mask
5.Rinse


Milk Cleanser Recipee(To cleanse and exfoliate)
1tsp powdered milk
1tsp water

Mix and massage onto face, leave for two mins and rinse


Brown Sugar Scrub

1tbsp brown sugar
2-3 drops of Vitamin Oil
2tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Mix, and massage onto face then rinse

Steam face; there are plenty of ways but I tried the old school method.
Place face over a boiling pot of water and rest face over steamfor 5 mins.

Lemon Facial Mask:

2 egg yolks
1tsp of olive oil
1tsp of lemon juice

Mix, then apply  on prewashed face, leave for 10 mins then rinse.

This process and recipees left my face feeling soft, and moisturized. Something I will continue to do once a week.

SKIN: There are plenty of ways to moisturize my skin, but the following are ways I used.

1. Open Pores- by running warm water on skin
2. Apply body scrub
3.Rinse with cool water
4.Air dry or towel pat dry
5. Oil with oils- lightly oil skin (also optional)
6. Moisturize with lotion or moiturizer(optional)

Body scrub Recipee:

2-3 tbsp of brown sugar
4 drops of vitamin E oil
Extra oils or body gel( i prefer to use gel since it already has in oils)

Mix, then apply to skin gently and rinse with cool water

I also have very dry lips so i do a lip scrub everyday or every other day; same recipee as brown sugar scrub just less oil and sugar

Place mixture of a new toothbrush and gently scrub lips, then rinse and very lightly oil or moisturize lips.

These recipees and processes are helping me. I hope they help you!

Why Transition? Why Something New and Different?

First off  i'll like to thank everyone that's blessed my page with their presence. Thankies!! And I hope you remain to follow and support me on my transition.

Normally when you see the words, "transition" and "roots" in a blog, immediately(80% of the time) you think about hair transition from relaxed to natural. You are RIGHT!!! BUT(BRAKES) i'm not only transitioning with my hair but my entire lifestyle; my HAIR, my SKIN, my HEALTH, my RELATIONSHIPS, my FINANCIALS and ect.  So basically i'm changing my life. While starting my hair transition, I noticed the only way for me to stick with making changes is to write about it. So that's what "EnhancinMyRoots" is all about. It's my transitioning JOURNAL!! I'm EXCITED about it! I'm 1 month into my hair transition! My BC goal is 2yrs! And i'm READY to MAKE A CHANGE and ENHANCE MY ROOTS!!

I've decided to try something NEW and DIFFERENT because I was tired of being in a "RUT"(blech)!!! Relaxing my hair was getting expensive and frustrating, it was difficult to find relaxed hairstyles to fix my face and I just needed a different way to BREATHE and EXPRESS myself!! So hair I am taking that LEAP of faith.

I invite you guys to join me! Whether you're black or white, old or young, male or female. I'm going to need as much support and advice as I can get!!!! So THANK YOU again for visiting my blog(aka journal), I do plan on updating(or bloggin') bi-daily or weekly, not sure yet.  I'll see yall on my page!!

I'm EMBRACIN' MY ROOTS YALL!!!!!!!
